Let's face it, no one likes navigating in a suburban office park shithole nor work in one. Cities have won. Who would have thought that Chris Christie would have been an ally to the city by ways of the corporation. Even today he'a advocating, together with Gov. Cuomo, for a new transhudson tunnel!

The companies have spoken!

times are a-changing. Nice to see capital markets abandon unsustainable, inhumane practices like investing in office parks.

Two new residential towers proposed for Jersey City waterfront next to Goldman Sachs





Sep. 12, 2022

Get ready, Manhattan, your view to the west may get a bit shinier.

Two more towers are headed into some of the last remaining undeveloped Jersey City waterfront property around Exchange Place in an area next to the Paulus Hook pier.

The 42- and 58-story residential buildings and their nearly 2,000 units would rise next to the Goldman Sachs building, just north of the Colgate Clock.

The towers in Jersey City would feature retail space at the base and parking. Both properties, at 50 and 55 Hudson St., are currently used for private parking, and the Hudson-Bergen light rail runs down Hudson Street in between them.

The 42-story building would stand on the eastern property and house 924 residential studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. The ground floor would offer 12,017 square feet of retail space and the developer would “reuse” the current garage that has 467 parking spaces.

The proposal calls for a public plaza to surround the building to the west and south and connect to the waterfront walkway to the east. The taller building to the west would have 1,017 units, 37,185 square feet of retail space on the ground floor and a new 387-space parking garage.

Neither building would set aside affordable housing units.

The taller of the two buildings, at 637 feet, would be about 80% of the height of the neighboring $1.2 billion, 781-foot Goldman Sachs building, which was the tallest building in New Jersey until 2018. It first began hosting Goldman Sachs employees in 2004. The smaller tower would stand at 476 feet.

As for the look of the towers, they will feature blue tinted-window exteriors and their shape will be less wide and chunky than the Goldman Sachs tower.

Resident amenities would include pools and dog runs and the taller one would have a basketball court, according to architectural plans.

A spokesman for Tishman Speyer called the project “dynamic” and woven into the landscape of the waterfront walkway and ferry terminal because of the public plaza around the eastern building.

Nice! Finally filling in that gap so that Goldman Sachs isn't off on it's own.

Nice, fits in with its other glassy neighbors.

Another one as well. This was approved via the Jersey City Planning Board.

Construction to Start on 1,000-Unit Development Along Jersey City Waterfront

One of the largest redevelopment projects along the Hudson River in Jersey City will kick off next week as two real estate giants will begin work on a 58-story tower.

Goldman Sachs has owned two blocks at 50 and 55 Hudson Street since 2004 and had planned to develop office space at the site. But plans emerged last year to build a pair of residential towers on the properties, which are currently occupied by large parking areas.

Jersey Digs was the first news outlet to reveal renderings of the towers when they were approved last September. The high-rises will add almost 2,000 units and significant retail space along two of the last undeveloped blocks of Jersey City’s waterfront.

Goldman is teaming with New York-based Tishman Speyer on the project, the first portion of which will rise at 55 Hudson Street. An itinerary sent to local property owners from the companies reveals that site prep work is slated to begin in earnest October 16, with excavation of the existing parking lot set to commence two days later.

The first phase will rise 637 feet at its tallest point and sport a six-story podium base. The initial portion consists of 1,017 dwelling units, breaking down as 298 studios, 514 one-bedrooms, 203 two-bedrooms, and two three-bedroom spaces.

A total of 62,749 square feet of retail will face the Hudson Street side of the building under the plan, which includes one large double-height storefront space.

A new parking garage with 378 parking spaces that includes 539 bicycle spots will be built under the 55 Hudson Street section, which includes a seventh-floor amenity deck with an outdoor pool, tennis courts, a dog run, garden area, and grilling sections.

55 Hudson’s 57th floor is also set to feature an amenity space that includes indoor and outdoor areas. The tower itself sports a glass-heavy look with significant curtain wall portions plus a podium that utilizes brick components.

The construction of 55 Hudson Street will additionally create a new plaza along Hudson Street across from the Hudson Bergen Light Rail trackage.

The second phase of the development at 50 Hudson Street will eventually rise across the way at an underground parking facility. That component will reuse the existing 467-space garage while adding a 42-story tower with a two-story podium that tops out at 476 feet.
